Hyper-V overview This guide explains how to create Hyper-V backups using System Protection, how to perform Hyper-V guest and host restores, and how to perform granular restores using the Hyper-V Granular Restore Add-on. File Protection and File Archiving can also be used to back up Hyper-V environments, but System Protection is our recommended backup type for Hyper-V because it supports: Customized Hyper-V destination, CSV and Exchange Server detection steps Block level backups of a Hyper-V Server Incremental image backups, including fast incremental. Superior handing of large files. Bare-metal recovery Documentation The following documentation and articles are available as additional reading. For expert Hyper-V backup advice, see the Hyper-V backup implementation guide To learn about moving physical servers to virtual servers, see our P2V with Hyper-V article. If you’re using Exchange Protection as your backup, you should read this Exchange backup article. For an overview of the difference between Hyper-V and VMware, see our Hyper-V VMware article. Licensing System Protection is a standard feature included with the BackupAssist, and requires a BackupAssist license once the initial trial period has expired. To restore Hyper-V guest data at a granular level requires the Hyper-V Granular Restore Add-on license, once the initial trial period has expired. Hyper-V requirements BackupAssist supports Hyper-V Servers (including CSV) with the following operating systems: Windows Server 2012R1/R2, including Server Core and Hyper-V Server versions. Windows Server 2008R2, including Server Core and Hyper-V Server versions. Windows Server 2008R1 Pre-requisites for BackupAssist Hyper-V protection Windows Server Backup. If Windows Server Backup is not installed, BackupAssist will provide a prompt to install it when the first backup job is created. In a CSV environment, BackupAssist must be installed and licensed on each host. For Windows Server 2008, the partition size of the disks being backed up should be less than 2TB. The following Add-ons DO support guests backed up from CSV environments: The Exchange Granular Restore Add-on The Hyper-V Granular Restore Add-on System Protection for Hyper-V 2 © Cortex I.T. 2001-2015 User guide: Version March 16 2015 2. Hyper-V protection features Windows 2012 R1/R2 Hyper-V support Windows Server 2012 introduces the CSVFS format, which allows a cluster to differentiate CSV storage from NTFS storage. BackupAssist’s support for these and other feature is listed below: BackupAssist can back up Hyper-V guests located on CSV storage using the CSVFS file system. BackupAssist supports SMB 3.0 servers as a CSVFS backup destination. BackupAssist does not support backups of CSVFS and NTFS locations in the same snapshot. E.g. It’s not possible to back up a guest that uses CSV as well as a guest that uses an NTFS volume. BackupAssist supports Hyper-V Replica and can back up and restore a primary Hyper-V guest. Custom Hyper-V backup job steps When you use BackupAssist System Protection to create a Hyper-V backup job, you will be presented with the following Hyper-V specific, setup screens. Hyper-V data selection The data selection screen is focused on the Hyper-V guests, rather than a generic bare-metal backup. This makes it easier to select Hyper-V guests and their host, and create a dedicated Hyper-V backup. Exchange VM detection System Protection Hyper-V backup jobs have an Exchange authentication information step. Providing Exchange authentication information allows BackupAssist to detect what guests have an Exchange Server, and list the EDB files available for each guest when you perform an Exchange Granular Restore. CSV configuration If you have a CSV environment, a staging configuration step is used to define a staging location. This location is used to put your guests and host into a single image, even if they are on different volumes. Hyper-V restore options A System Protection backup can be used to restore Hyper-V data using the following tools. BackupAssist Restore Console You can use the console to restore a host and its guests, selected guests or data from inside the host. Hyper-V Granular Restore console The Hyper-V Granular Restore console is enabled when you purchase the Hyper-V Granular Restore Add-on. The Add-on allows you to restore individual files from inside of a guest. The backup can contain multiple guests, and the Add-on allows you to mount one and restore specific files. Exchange Granular Restore console The Exchange Granular Restore console is enabled when you purchase the Exchange Granular Restore Add-on. The Add-on allows you to restore mail items from an Exchange Server that is installed on a guest. This requires both the Exchange Granular Restore and the Hyper-V Granular Restore Add-ons.

  • Windows7-Taskbar.Pdf
    Taskbar The new Windows 7 Taskbar is still the same familiar place for switching between applications/windows. But now it's larger, more flexible, and more functional. In Windows 7 the user can position or "pin" favorite programs anywhere on the taskbar. Now the user can rearrange the programs/windows by clicking and dragging. Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. The Taskbar is made up of the following elements: 1. The Start menu is at the left end of the taskbar. 2. Open Programs and Windows 3. System tray (notification area) 4. The Show Desktop button at the right end. A typical DePaul taskbar looks like the following: The Taskbar is an application launcher as every time the user opens a program; its icon will appear on the Taskbar. When you exit the program, its icon will disappear. If it is a frequently used program you can place it on the Taskbar by using the “pin” icon. Just right click on the program and click on “Pin to this program to taskbar”. Likewise you can remove it by “Unpin this Program from taskbar”. When the user right-clicks, there is a “Jump List” of recently used documents, click to open as shown below: Windows 7 builds “Jump Lists” automatically, tracking the documents that you open. A user can also install files manually into a program’s “Jump List”. The user can drag the document from an Explorer window to the taskbar, a tooltip will appear asking “Pin to Microsoft Word” (or whatever program the user created the file with.) If the file is already in the “Jump List” just slide over it, a “pin” will appear and click on the “pin” as shown below: In Windows 7, the Taskbar does more than display open applications.

  • How to Set Windows Media Player As Default in Windows 10/8.1
    How To Set Windows Media Player As Default In Windows 10/8.1 On both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, Microsoft has set modern or universal apps as default for most file types. The Music app or Groove Music (on Windows 10) is the default music or media player. While the Groove Music app in Windows 10 is pretty good and it has been revamped with a number of new features, it still lacks a couple of features, and it isn’t as good as Windows Media Player or any other popular desktop player for that matter. Even though Microsoft hasn’t done any major improvements to Windows Media Player for a long time, it’s still one of the best media player software out there for Windows operating system. The problem with the default Groove music in Windows 10 is its unpredictable behaviour and more importantly, takes good amount of time to open when compared to the classic Windows Media Player. If you like Windows Media Player for some reason and want to set it as the default player in Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you can follow the given below instructions. Method 1 – make WMP default player on Windows 10 Method 2 & 3 – set WMP as default on Windows 8.1 Make Windows Media Player default on Windows 10 Step 1: Open Start menu, click Settings icon to open Settings app. Step 2: Click System (Display, notifications, apps, power). Step 3: Click Default apps. Scroll down to see Music Player section. Step 4: As you can see, Groove Music is the default music or media player on Windows 10.
